AGV car market development and navigation and sensor technology application

As one of the most active fields in the robotics industry, AGV robots have been widely used in industrial applications in recent years. In the logistics industry, AGV has become an important equipment in logistics and warehousing. AGV is automatic guided car, AGV field integration of sensor technology, mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, automation control and artificial intelligence and other multidisciplinary research results, it can be described as the integration of mechanical and electrical.

AGV is generally guided by electromagnetic or RFID automatic guidance devices to guide the car along the specified path. As an important tool to achieve flexible and automated logistics transportation, compared with other material handling tools, AGV does not need to go through complicated track laying and bracket base fixation, its working site is less limited, and has reached millimeter-level accurate positioning in technology.

At present, AGV car can be combined with the control system, traffic control system, etc., to realize single offline or multi-machine network operation at the same time, can fully replace the traditional manual handling, to achieve accurate, safe and intelligent cargo transfer and transportation, automatic shelves and so on.

Overall, at present, the growth and application of the domestic low-end AGV market is rapidly popularized, and the demand for heavy-duty AGVS suitable for indoor and outdoor applications will also increase rapidly. Common AGV cars will use a variety of navigation positioning and sensor technologies.

In the application field of AGV navigation technology, it has developed from fixed path to free navigation path, which also means that AGV is becoming more and more intelligent. Today, the domestic AGV car commonly used navigation technology has autonomous laser navigation, inertial navigation, magnetic navigation, differential GPS navigation and so on, some have mature practical application cases, some have market application conditions. For example,
